21、In the near future, instead of going to your wardrobe (衣柜) to choose something to throw on for your next video call, you might turn to your virtual wardrobe to pick out a 3D digital dress to wear. At least, that's what a number of people in the fashion and tech space are relying on as more businesses look to the promise of digital fashion. Moreover, those virtual clothes won't just be for your video calls, but could eventually be worn all over the virtual world, and eventually, perhaps, viewed on your body in the real world through the Augmented Reality (AR) glasses.
“There are more and more second worlds' where you can express yourself. But there is probably an underestimation of the value being attached to individuals who want to express themselves in a virtual world with a virtual product, through a virtual image,”a marketing officer Robert said. As the field develops, there are two ways of using digital clothes—wearing them yourself through AR and providing digital clothes for your virtual body.
But why should we replace our physical clothes? Supporters say there's unlimited creative expression through digital clothes, which now look increasingly more elegant thanks to developments in 3D and AR technology. “Clothing represents an expression of a personality. It always exists in the physical world, and it will exist in the virtual world,” said Simon Whitehouse, a designer.
He explained, “From the brand side, it's incredibly profitable to sell clothes without producing physical clothes. It's reinventing an entire supply chain. There's no water usage, there's very limited CO2 emission. There are no samples being sent out or returned. There are no show rooms, and there's no physical prototype (实物模型).”
【1】What can you probably do in the near future according to paragraph 1?
A．Open a virtual fashion clothing store.
B．Design 3D digital clothes for yourself.
C．Buy a bigger wardrobe for your bedroom.
D．Wear virtual clothes made by digital technology.
【2】What can we infer from Simon's words in paragraph 3?
A．AR technology will bring a challenge to people.
B．One's character will be seen in the virtual world.
C．Digital clothes will be more convenient for people.
D．One's expression only can be seen in the physical world.
【3】What is Simon's attitude to digital clothing?
A．Approving.
B．Doubtful.
C．Unclear.
D．Grateful.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．The increase in AR glasses.
B．The digital fashion in the future.
C．The virtual body in digital clothes.
D．AR glasses made by new technology.

23、 The assumption that depression is a disease has been supported by biologists, psychiatrists and companies producing medicine. Although advances in medical treatment have certainly been responsible for reducing much suffering, sticking to the disease model is preventing a more complete understanding of why we are so likely to suffer from depression, with at least 45% of people experiencing the condition in their lifetimes.
My recent review of theories and personal observations suggests that depression might serve some useful functions. We should not forget that depression has meaning, and that there is a real new life after recovery.
A recent study of depression in Holland showed that people seemed to cope better with hardships in life after depression than they were doing before it. In the group as a whole, liveliness, psychological health, social and spare-time activities, performance at work and general health all significantly improved upon recovery from depression.
Depression can lead to great insights(洞察力) and achievements. More than 2,000 years ago, Aristotle believed depression to be a state of great moral and spiritual value because of the insights it could bring. The philosopher John Stuart Mill wrote his famous work, Utilitarianism, at the age of 19 and became depressed at the age of 21. Upon recovery, he admitted that the experience had taught him an important lesson---that he should not sacrifice(牺牲) his social and emotional development to intellectual ambition.
Theories have suggested that depression could be a defense against the long-time stress. It is possible that depression defends us against the tendency to ignore our true needs by chasing unobtainable goals and helps to bring these needs into sharper focus.
Depression may bring about a “rebirth” because it removes a false idea about oneself. There is some evidence from scientific studies to show that depressed people are rather more realistic in their thinking than “healthy” individuals. With recovery, a new kind of truth could be found, which would do away with blind optimism: a more modest evaluation of the depressed person’s own ability, containing a more balanced picture of his or her life.
Depression may have forced our ancestors to look again at their strengths and weaknesses, and their coping strategies. Regardless of the reason for falling into depression, the journey has potential to make us better equipped, in a general sense, for life.
【1】Which of the following is the disadvantage of treating depression as a disease?
A.People dislike being taken as patients.
B.The medical treatment costs a lot of money.
C.It prevents us from better understanding depression.
D.It stops people from getting a balanced picture of life.
【2】After recovering from depression, John Stuart Mill realized that he shouldn’t _________ .
A.take part in too many social activities
B.aim too high in intellectual achievement
C.write Utilitarianism at such an early age
D.consider too much about emotional needs
【3】What functions can depression serve?
a. It enables people to perform better at work
b. It makes it easier to achieve people’s dream.
c. It helps people to get a realistic view of self
d. It improves people’s ability to deal with difficulties
A.abc B.bcd
C.abd D.acd
【4】What can be a suitable title for this passage?
A.Ways to Address Depression
B.Brave Attitude to Depression
C.Depression: Disease or Rebirth?
D.Depression: Assumption or Reality?
